About

From first commit to leading teams.

I'm Mohammed. I lead frontend work on national platforms, I hire and mentor the people who build them with me, and I wire language models into real products.

  1. 01

    The student

    2012 to 2016

    Fundamentals first.

    A Bachelor of Computer Science at Alsadiq University: algorithms, data structures, databases, networks and image processing. The parts of the job that never go out of date.

  2. 02

    The engineer

    2017 to 2024

    Shipping, alone and in pairs.

    From 2017 I built full-stack projects on my own and through pair programming. Microverse's full-time remote program sharpened React, Redux, Next.js and Rails alongside developers around the world. At Lightring.ai I built marketing sites and product dashboards in React, Next.js and TypeScript, storytelling pages that explained the company's AI to enterprise clients, and the CI/CD pipelines that ship them.

  3. 03

    The lead and mentor

    2024 to now

    Building teams, not just pages.

    At AAU I directed frontend for Babyl AI and for Qaddim, the Ministry of Higher Education's national admission platform, used by 500K+ applicants a year. I also led the frontend of the Ministry's postgraduate applications, exam committee, administration, student information and IQ Learn platforms, and of EPMS, still in development. I ran 50+ technical interviews, hired 10 engineers and mentored them in React and Next.js. In 2026 I returned to Lightring.ai.

The AI layer

Language models, wired into real products.

At Lightring.ai I integrated GPT and LangChain into marketing and demo sites, so visitors saw generative AI at work instead of reading about it. My toolkit also covers ChromaDB and LlamaIndex, with NumPy, Pandas and GeoPandas for the data side.

Mentoring

50+ interviews. 10 hires.

At AAU I interviewed more than 50 engineers, hired 10 and mentored them in React and Next.js. Before that I volunteered as a Microverse mentor, reviewing code and coaching junior developers on code quality, system design and staying motivated.
